First I thought it was a problem of VS2013 RC/beta but now I installed VS2013 RTM and still have the same problem: code completion does only open after I execute it manually by strg+space. How can I turn on auto open the windows after typed e.g. a point?
Be sure that your IntelliSense is activated
Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > Statement completion
Then, be sure Auto list members is checked and Parameter Information.
When intellisense is displayed is a language specific setting. If you're asking about c# then you want to check the following
Tools -> Options
Text Editor -> C# -> Intellisense
Ensure "Show completion list after a character is typed" is checked
If you're using a different language please update the question and I'll try to point you in the right direction
This happened after uninstalling Resharper 8.x (I don't see the point given VS 2013's advances), so I'd chalk this to an unclean resharper uninstall.
The solution is very quick though:
Open VS2013
Tools -> Import and Export settings
Reset all settings
Visual C#
TOOLS->Import and Export Settings Wizard->Reset all settings->select “No, just reset settings, overwriting my current settings”->Choose a Default Collection of settings. Check it again.
If none of the above suggestions work, check if you have an extension Web Essentials installed. Try removing it (and install again). Web Essentials has caused my intellisense to stop working multiple times and a simple re-install always fixes the issue for me.
This happened to me after uninstalling Resharper 8.x
Solution:
Tools -> Options
Text Editor -> C# -> Intellisense
Ensure "Show completion list after a character is typed" is *un*checked
Tools -> Options
Text Editor -> C# -> Intellisense
Ensure "Show completion list after a character is typed" is checked
Do not need reset all settings. I had a same problem but i' ve have just solved it.
Run resharper.setup.exe
do not click uninstall or repair. just click reinstall it
after installation it will be ok
good luck:)
Here's what worked for me (using Visual Studio 2013 w/ ReSharper 8.0.2):
Tools->Options->ReSharper
Click "Suspend Now"
Click "Resume Now"
1: Try to use ReSharper 8.0.2 Best Code analysic, completion tool
2: Tools > Options > Text Editor > All Language > Make Check on Auto List members
Method 1
List item
Tools -> Options
Text Editor -> C# -> Intellisense
Ensure "Show completion list after a character is typed" is checked
Method 2(for me after uninstall resharper)
List item
Open VS2013
Tools -> Import and Export settings
Reset all settings

After upgrading to Visual Studio 2015, holding control while clicking on a symbol navigates to that symbol definition. In prior versions, this would instead select the entire word.
How can I disable the navigation event when CTRL + Click(ing) a symbol, so that it highlights the word?
I do have Resharper (Ultimate 9.2) installed. The configuration option under Environment -> Search & Navigation -> Go to Declaration on Control + Click in the editor is not checked.
All the search engine results make mention of this being a feature of the Productivity Power Tools extensions in previous versions of Visual Studio. I do not have that extension installed.
I found my solution in the "Options - Text Editor - General" settings. This was on VS 2017 thou.
To disable navigation to symbol definitions in VS2015,
this one worked for me.
With Resharper Ultimate 2016.3.1, I could fix the issue by disabling "Rich mouse navigation in the editor". It can be found in Resharper Options window, under Environment > Search & Navigation.
Maybe updating Resharper could solve the issue.
Also, Productivity Power Tools is not installed on my machine.
In vs 2017 this setting is available in Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> General -> Enable mouse click to perform Go to Definition.
You can uncheck it!
Go to ReSharper Options > Environment > Search & Navigation, then uncheck the following options:
Rich mouse navigation in the editor
Enable 'Smart go to declaration'
I finally solved it following the info I found on this page..

Ensure you are using Visual Studio as your resharper keyboard scheme.
Environment -> Keyboard & Menus
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard
To stop the go to declaration, select it and input a new key short cut for it. In this image I have demonstrated that I changed this short cut to ctr num 1 and could not change it to ctr num 3. On testing crt click does not no take me to the declaration.
Find the shortcut you want to remove, in this case Edit.NavigateTo and remove.
An update for Productivity Power Tools + VS2017. Instead of having settings for this feature, a separate plugin gets installed. So after installing PPTs, you'll have a new extension called Ctrl+Click Go To Definition. Not sure why we need that tool considering it's baked into VS, but...
Anyway, Disabling that extension (plus the other things mentioned in other comments for VS and Resharper) fixed my ctrl+click woes.
To switch to the Visual C# keyboard mapping scheme
On the Tools menu, click Options.
Expand Environment, and then click Keyboard.
Select Visual C# 2005 from the Apply the following application
keyboard mapping scheme drop-down list.
or you can do
Keyboard: CTRL + W
also plugin can be used
Keyboard Shortcut Exporter
you can import/export keymapping file
Is there a way to set TAB button to work as 4 spaces in Visual Studio 2010 instead of going to Edit->Advanced->Untabify Selected Lines?
You can edit this behavior in:
Tools->Options->Text Editor->All Languages->Tabs
Change Tab to use "Insert Spaces" instead of "Keep Tabs".
Note you can also specify this per language if you wish to have different behavior in a specific language.
First set in the following path Tools->Options->Text Editor->All Languages->Tabs
if still didn't work modify as mentioned below
Go to Edit->Advanced->Set Indentation ->Spaces
For VS2010 and above (VS2010 needs a plugin).
If you have checked/set the options of the tab size in Visual Studio but it still won't work. Then check if you have a .editorconfig file in your project! This will override the Visual Studio settings. Edit the tab-size in that file.
This can happen if you install an Angular application in your project with the Angular-Cli.
See MSDN blog
None of these answer were working for me on my macbook pro. So what i had to do was go to:
Preferences -> Source Code -> Code Formatting -> C# source code.
From here I could change my style and spacing tabs etc. This is the only project i have where the lead developer has different formatting than i do. It was a pain in the butt that my IDE would format my code different than theirs.
If you don't see the formatting option, you can do Tools->Import and Export settings to import the missing one.
For Visual Studio 2019 users:
By the comment under accepted answer, link:
Well... This is "almost" still the same in VS 2019... if you already done that and seems not to work, go to: Tools > Options, and then Text Editor > Advanced > Uncheck "Use adaptive formatting" as seen here
I use: Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, Resharer 6.
In ReSharper's options i choose Visual Studio keyboard sheme and click Apply Sheme:
After that some shortcuts are not assigned, such as: Go to Declaration, Go to implementation, Find Usages, Complete symbol, etc:
Try
Tools -> Options, Environment -> Keyboard -> Reset
Import and Export Settings, re-import C# developer settings
devenv /reset
Nothing helped.
Configure shortcuts manually is not desirable.
Help, please.
This one worked for me 100% after trying a bunch of other things:
Go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard -> Press the (RESET) button
Go to ReSharper - > Options -> Keyboard & Menus -> Select the "Visual Studio" scheme -> Press "Apply Scheme"
Press "Save"
Press "CTRL-T". Since this shortcut is mapped in both VS and Resharper, you will be presented with the "Shortcut Conflict"-window. Here you select "Use ReSharper (Ultimate) command" and make sure to check the box "Apply to all ReSharper (Ultimate) shortscuts".
Voila!
This is a known issue that affects all ReSharper shortcuts that include F12 after switching from IntelliJ keymap to VS keymap. It's documented in this bug report that you're free to watch and vote for.
As far as I'm aware, the only workaround would be to reassign the broken shortcuts manually through Tools > Options > Keyboard.
Hpersw's solution works. in VS -> Tools -> Import & Export Settings -> Reset all settings and press finish. This should give you the shortcuts back
After wrestling with this for half a day and trying all of the options above, I finally found the magic setting that fixed MY problems: I UNSELECTED "Hide overriden Visual Studio Items" in Options/Keyboard and Menus"
In VS go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard -> Apply the following keyboard mapping schema: [Default]
The easiest way to solve this problem is :
Go to: ReSharper -> Manage Options -> Reset All Settings
These steps gonna solve your shortcuts (key bindings) issues.
You do not have to keep performing the following actions:
1) Go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard -> Press the (RESET) button
2) Go to ReSharper - > Options -> Keyboard & Menus -> Select the "Visual Studio" scheme -> Press "Apply Scheme"
I know this is a little old, but I just thought I'd share my epiphany... It seems that with Resharper 7x and VS2010 (probably anything later too), is best set when you op for the selecting the "Text Editor" as the settings to update under Options->KeyBoard. So, what I would recommend if you like some of Resharper features, use this site to get the shortcuts Resharper Shortcuts
Then set them accordingly with Text Editor selected as the settings to update. Global does NOT seem to work consistently.
FYI- Text Editor works for C#, CSS and javascript. Not sure about other languages within VS.
Taken from the documentation on Configuring Keyboard Shortcuts:
To switch between two available keyboard schemes or restore the default state of your currently selected scheme
On the main menu, choose ReSharper | Options.
Select Environment | Visual Studio Integration.
In the Visual Studio Integration tab, select Visual Studio, ReSharper 2.x or IntelliJ IDEA, or None, and click Apply Scheme. If you selected None, you can define an arbitrary set of custom keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio's native Options menu (Tools | Options | Environment | Keyboard) - see To configure keyboard shortcuts above.
Also, here's some documentation on how to resolve keyboard shortcut conflicts with Resharper
Doing "Reset All Settings" in VS Import&Export usually helps with restoring shortcuts. But it will, eh, reset all VS settings.
This is driving me crazy. Ever since I installed ReSharper 4, F12 no longer seems to work. If you look at the all the ReSharper short cuts in the Goto sub menu Declaration doesn't have any assigned!
The only way I can go to declaration is by using Alt and ` and then selecting Declaration.
I have tried un-installing and re-installing ReSharper with no luck, I have also, in ReSharper option asked it to use the default Visual Studio Key Bindings but that doesn't to work either.
Interestingly, when I do use Alt and ` I actually get two entries for the Declaration option.
Has anyone come across this problem?
I am using Visual Studio 2005 SP1.
I ran into the same issue and resolved it by first resetting my Visual Studio keyboard mappings:
Tools > Options > Keyboard > Reset
Then going into the ReSharper options and applying the scheme:
Resharper > Options > Visual Studio Integration > Apply Scheme
Update:
For VS2017 onwards:
Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard > Reset
For Resharper 2017.2:
Resharper > Options > Environment > Keyboard & Menus > Keyboard Shortcuts > Apply Scheme
I have had a few occasions where Resharper and Visual Studio keybindings got mixed up and I had problems sorting them out.
If it is only one or two bindings you care about then you can change them by going to the
Tools->Customize->Keyboard menu option.
For ReSharper 8 and Visual Studio 2012:
Tools > Options > Keyboard > Reset
Then going into the ReSharper options and applying the scheme:
Resharper > Options > Environment > Keyboard & Menus > (Select Visual Studio under Keyboard Shortcuts) > Apply Scheme > Save
I had this problem and it was resolved by following the steps described in the picture:
Open Visual Studio Tabs on the path: Tools>>Options>>Keyboard
Open Visual Studio Tabs on the path: Resharper>>Options>>Keyboard & Menus and Do the following:
And Then Reopen the path above and do the following:
Finally, close the Visual Studio and open it.
I had this issue in VS2015 using Resharper 9.1.3, I tried Ryan's answer but it still didn't work.
After doing the steps Ryan outlined, I clicked F12 where Resharper asks What do you want to do?, I select Use Visual Studio commands. Still doesn't work.
Tools > Options > Keyboard > Select ReSharper.ReSharper_GotoNextHighlight from command list box
Change Shortcuts for selected command to F12 (Text Editor), click Remove and OK.
After this it works!
Try simple way to enable it, press Fn + Esc key of the keyboard.
It is possible that you have enabled Fn mode (Blue Keys) on your keyboard which overrides default behavior of functional keys including F12.
I had the same problem with VS2013 and Resharper 9. I have a code like this:
gridList.Method1();
gridList.Method2();
I then right-click on any of gridList and click Find Usages (or just use Shift+F12) but it says "Usages not found" even though it is just one line away! Sometimes VS restart would help, sometimes it wouldn't. It looks like clearing the cache of Reshaper helps though: Resharper -> Options -> Environment -> General -> Clear Caches. This needs VS to be restarted, but then it started working as expected.
My problem was that I couldn't use the command "Alt + F12" when trying to "peek definition" in Visual Studio. I found out through another forum-thread that it was Nvidia's GeForce Experience that overrides some of the "Alt" shortcuts and uses them for their functionalities with screen recordings etc.
What solved it for me, was going into the GeForce Experience settings and switch off the use of in-game overlay:
Alternatively, if you want to use the overlay, you can just change the short cut commands.
For ReSharper Ultimate 2017.3.3 and Visual Studio 2017:
Tools > Options > Tools > External Sources > Default Visual Studio Navigation > Save
I ran into this problem after an organizational change that caused my windows profile to change. I tried the solutions listed above, but nothing seemed to work.
Here is how I fixed it (brute force worked!)
NOTE: Steps listed are for VS 2012 and ReSharper 7.1.3
Uninstalled Re-Sharper
Exit visual studio, ensure the process devenv.exe is no longer there in the running processes (was there in my case and I had to do a "End Process Tree" from Task Manager)
Fired up VS 2012, and from the menu Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard selected Visual C# 2005 (or any other setting you love) and pressed Reset
Shutdown VS again (and ensure devenv.exe has been killed in Task manager)
Re-installed re-sharper
Best of luck!
These steps solved it for me:
Uninstall keyboard in Device Manager
Re-insert your keyboard usb
"Web Essentials"
Add or update visual studio "Web Essentials" You can find it at:
Menu>>Tools>>Extensions and Updates
I hope this will save your time. It worked for me.
ReSharper added a crap 'good' new thing that they now call a feature: Smart Go To Declaration. As dumb as it may sound, it comes enabled by default: crap 'good'.
The feature is described on the link provided from here but honestly at least it should've keep it disabled, not reinvent the wheel. It also tells you how to disable that crap 'good' feature.
Sometimes it has noting to do with Visual Studio at all. Be sure your keyboard has its function key setting of the keyboard itself to send the F12 function to Visual Studio. It is an easy thing to miss.
I had just installed Pulover’s Macro Creator and F12 was set as the global hotkey to pause a macro. It was intercepting the keypress before it had a chance to get to VS.
Solution is to change that hotkey to something else. I chose Ctrl-F12. The input box is on the top right of the Pulover window.
Update 2020. I had the same problem and also tried a lot of ways, but that was still didn't working... [VS 2015, ReSharper 2019.3.1]
But, like Andrius said:
Resharper -> Options -> Environment -> General -> Clear Caches. This needs VS to be restarted, but then it started working as expected.
Summary is: (try steps above) + Resharper..-> Clear Caches + VS restart. Hope this will be useful
My Visual Studio (2008) Editor has stopped to underline Errors (this nifty wavy red lines). I can't really tell when, but it can be related to the installation of .Net Framework 3.5 SP 1 or the MVC Beta (which I guess is unlikely). Furthermore have I installed and uninstalled both CodeRush and Resharper for evaluation purposes (decided not to keep either one of them).
Does anyone know the problem and how to restore this functionality again?
Have you checked Tools→Options...→Text Editor→C#→Advanced→Underline errors in the editor?
I usually like to reset my settings after messing around with plugins, as they tend to mess with settings: Tools→Import and Export Settings...→Reset all settings.
About possible causes.
For VS 2012 and 2013 if you have more than one instance of Visual Studio on different machines binded to one "live" account and have installed ReSharper on one of them, it disables the native IntelliSense and error underlines (to replace by it's own rules) that will be synchronised through your account to another machine without ReSharper.
Found it in Visual Studio 2019 as: Tools > Options > Text Editor > General > Show error squiggles
This is generally called Disable Squiggly or Wavy lines in Visual Studio.
How you will do in Visual studio 2013?
TOOLS -> Options... -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Disable Squiggles: True/False (Under IntelliSense) -> Press OK
I know its an old question, and with various solutions, but I have fixed it in different way. I'm working with Unity3D on my C# code using VS2017, when suddenly VS decides to stop underlining error while im typing. However, if I close the file tab and reopen, it suddenly undelines the error.
For example:
class A {
public int x;
s;
}
should obvsiouly give an error for that lonely 's' symbol. But, VS doesn't underline it until I close and reopen this file tab.
Solution:
Copied the entire Unity Project folder (which is like a regular VS Solution folder basically) and worked with the new folder, which issue was gone there.
For visual studio 2017 act according to HeeJae's comments in:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/113112/design-time-error-checking-isnt-working.html
i.e:
Hi. you are probably hitting a known issue. can you try this?
1.Update to latest release If that doesn’t solve it
2.Go to Tools\Options\Projects and Solutions\General and uncheck “Allow parallel project initialization”.
3.Close VS.
4.Delete the “.vs” directory beside their solution file.
5.Reopen VS.
..
thank you
You can re-enable the "Allow parallel project initialization" option after the issue was solved.
I tried to upgrade VS, reset VS settings, clear VS cache and everything people do conventionally but none of them solved this issue! At the end the mentioned solution worked for me magically.
Good luck
Unloading and loading same project again from the solution does the trick. Just right click on the project and click "Unload Project". Once unloaded, again right click the same project and click "Reload Project". Error highlighting will return.
I had the same issue with 2017. There was a 'disable intelisense' option, make sure that is set to false.
For everyone wondering in 2021..
search for "C_Cpp.errorSquiggles" in the settings.
Make sure to have it active for the user, as well as the workspace.
No need to restart Visual Studio.
For me (VS 2019) , after trying the other answers also, setting the scope of analysis from "Current document" to Open document" brought back the missing error markers
Just go to settings and search for errors and Image in Error Squiggles. You can see the Error squiggles (Modified: Workspace - Right now you can't see it because I modified it). Just click on modified and you will see the disabled option. If by mistake you disabled it, just enable it and you can see the red line errors again in your code.
In latest edition, check for .vscode folder in same project folder. There will be a setting.json file in that. Delete the key value pair of "C_Cpp.errorSquiggles": "Disabled". Restart the vs code.
